That’s The Way

Description

That’s The Way, an eight-track CD-EP, is the sophomore effort by the American dance/pop group Raze, released in the US on ForeFront Records in 1998, distributed by Chordant Distribution Group. As well marketed and distributed in the UK and Europe by Alliance Music. The album was recorded by Julian Kindred at Antenna Studios in Brentwood, Tennessee; with Tedd T. producing. Edited by Kevin B. Hipp.

Having heard Raze live, this was one album that I just couldn’t wait to play. And I was not disappointed. Mizzie, Donnie, Ja ‘Marc and JD aka Raze make some kickin’ dance music that got my feel moving and my fists punching the air. I can see why they would appeal to the kids in the schools in the States. These songs have a really good groove and at first they sound like the many love songs that you can hear in the charts. But as I got into them I realised that they did have some real spiritual content. They are love songs about our love for God and his love for us. They are about our experience of God living in us by his Spirit. And how in everything we do we desire to shine for him in the name of his love, a love that we desperately need, and a love that will be there always and forever. I would have liked more tracks. There are only eight in total and when I got to track six I found that the last three were remixes of previous tracks on the album. Nevertheless, this album is great.
